The old man lived in the Wooley Swamp way back in Booger Woods.
C
He never did do a lot of harm in the world, but he never did do no good.
D
People didn't think too much of him, they all thought he acted funny.
C
The old man didn't care about people anyway, all he cared about was his money.
D
He'd stuff it alldown in mason jars and he'd bury it all around.
C
And on certain nights if the moon was right he'd dig it up out of the ground.
D
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it.
C
Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy oldman and that's all that there was to it.

Cable boys was white trash, they lived over on Carver's Creek.
C
They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat and belligerent when they'd speak.
D
One night the oldest brother said, "Y'all meet me at the Wooley Swamp later.
C
We'll take old Lucius's money and we'll feed him to the alligators."
D
They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand,
C
Thirteen rusty mason jars was just dug up out of the sand.
D
And they all went crazy and they beat the old man,and the picked him up off of
the ground.
C
Threw him in the swamp and stood there and laughed as the black water sucked
im down.
D
Then they turned around and went back to the shack and picked up the money and
an.
C
They hadn't gone nowhere when they realized they were running in quicksand.
D
And they struggled and they screamed but they couldn't get away and just
efore they went under,
C
They could hear that old man laughing in a voice as loud as thunder.
D
And that's been fifty years ago and you can go by there yet.
C
There's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack where the ground is
always wet.
D
And on summer nights, if the moon is right down by the that dark footpath,
C
You can hear three young men screaming, you can hear one old man laugh.
